Prompt / AU / Scenario / Trope: Love Triangle Ends in Healthy Polyamory
A/N : This story is written for @avengerscompound ( “emilyevanston” earlier) for her #marveltropeflipchallenge, I am fashionably late for my submission, but this is my most treasured and close to my heart story idea ever. Conceptualized it six months before writing it and has been sitting in my drafts for more than seven months now (so roughly over a year or so).
It’s still not finished but just couldn’t keep it any more.
Always been intrigued by idea of “Love” rather “True Love” or “Soulmates” and thought if any love can be so intense that if lovers don’t end-up together in one life, do they reborn to find each other again & again in different life times? Who are the better subjects than our favorite “super soldiers” to torture and torment more, and what better trope than a “Love Triangle”.
Hope you guys like if not love this story as much as I do.

Melodious harp & cello played a symphony, as an angel worked on completing task at hand. She was so confident & content about the progress of it.
She was going to make God happy.
Frankly when she was given this task she was not thrilled, she questioned God’s motives behind it. All other angels laughed believed that she was foolish to taken such an easy chore. They told her she was not special, she was not capable so it was assigned to her.
But then, God’s answer came and all her worries were left behind.
This angel was tasked with making hearts, for the new humans to be born. She was tasked with such a delicate matter.
At first she couldn’t fathom the importance; it was just another body part, something that would help humans function. She didn’t see God’s reasons, when her doubts took over her ability to perform she went to God to inform that she doesn’t want to continue.
God just smiled and asked her function of heart, angel gave answer that came to her mind, pump the blood in human body. Amused God just said,
“Yes but it also originates an emotion in humans that no other being in Universe can feel!”
Angel’s ears perked ahhh…
“How could she been so blind?”
“How could she not see it before?”
“Love” … she whispered
“Yes my child, Love” God answered.
As if new hope was renewed in her, after which she never questioned the task she was bestowed upon.
She was intrigued by the idea of “Love”.
It was such an unique emotion.
‘Wars’ were fought over it & ‘monuments’ were built for it.
Only & only humans felt it. It was rare to find and left humans in distraught and in unfathomable despair if they lost it.
There were types of love, but only felt from one human to another, no other being was able to feel it.
“Love”
As she picked the perfect heart in palms of her hands delicately, started towards its destination, she didn’t know who it will go to. Her duty was just to make it, and hope it will create immense love and bring happiness in lives it will touch.
She was so caught up in her reverie that she didn’t notice, another mischievous angel hiding to surprise her just for fun.
As she passed the other angel sprang on her from behind, angel just shrieked in surprise & dropped the possession in her hand.
“Scared you” the mischievous angel laughed louder.
“No” angel dropped to her knees and cried.
“The Heart” was broken in three distinct pieces.
Masterpiece, the angel took so much pride in creating. It was severed beyond repaired.
Broken.
Beyond repair.
Listening to cries of the angel, other angel got scared. She could actually feel the despair but didn’t know what to do.
Damage was done.
As angel fell in deep pit of anguish & hopelessness, everything around her became dark. Her so calm aura disappeared behind the darkness. She just stared at the broken pieces.
Other angel’s apologies fell on deaf ears. She was numb.
Until, God came gliding. With strong healing aura to clear the darkness.
“My child” God addressed the angel
“Mother” angel just wailed louder.
“It’s broken; I can’t fix it, my masterpiece” she poured out her hearts ache
“I can see that my child” God tried to sooth the angel
“I can’t get it back together. The pieces aren’t mending” Angel complained
“You can do it mother, please fix this heart. It was supposed to be full of compassion, kindness & most importantly Love. Now it will never touch lives it was destined to”, Angel howled
God just ran her hands through angel’s hair.
“My child, I can mend it but the pain would be too much for one person to endure, in one lifetime. They will never be able to share it or show their real pain. It would be too much for one person to endure” She told the angel.
“But mother…” Angel tried to persuade but couldn’t get anything out.
“How about this?” God asked
Angel looked at God hopeful.
“You make three more hearts with each piece missing & attach these broken to the new ones” God answered
“This way there will be three hearts that will be recognize each other’s pain and relieved of it, by each other” God asked
New hope filled in angel’s eyes. She thought yes why not? Someone to share the pain, but moreover to share compassion, kindness and Love, she hoped these hearts would spread.
She nodded in agreement.
God summoned goddess of Fate, who wrote destiny for three hearts. She said there will come one lifetime where all of them will finally be together and live happily ever after but not before they have ‘suffered’.
Angel didn’t think much of the words, she just asked God if she could follow their journey from afar.
God agreed.
And thus journey of three hearts began…
Three different humans were born.
James Buchanan Barnes, Steven Grant Rogers and you.
